The Cornwall Hotel & Spa, Cornwall

By Emma ShearwoodPosted on December 17, 2014

Within touching distance of many of the most popular beaches and attractions in Cornwall, this very special hotel manages to feel completely secluded, plum in the middle of 43 acres of glorious Victorian parkland. For two nights from 30th December, rooms begin at £172.50 per night (minimum two-night stay required over New Year).

Prices include breakfast daily and entrance to a fabulous Black Tie New Year Party in the beautifully restored Manor House. Guests will be greeted with a drinks reception accompanied by tunes from pianist Brian Payne, before tucking into a decadent seven course meal.

Glasgow now has, quite possibly, the best city hotel spa in the country. Blythswood Square, which opened back in September 2010, is like a spa with a hotel attached – in other words, the spa is a destination in its own right. We think that sounds like the perfect place to begin a relaxed new year, so why not book in and soak up some of Scotland’s world famous festive atmosphere in these impossibly stylish surroundings? Classic double rooms start at £438 on 31st December, (based on two adults sharing), inclusive of a theatrical Hogmanay dinner in the restaurant, use of The Thermal Experience (worth the journey alone), and full Scottish breakfast.

If your idea of an indulgent New Year retreat involves being swaddled in luxury and fed superb gastronomic food, then Tuddenham Mill definitely fits the bill. Modern and white, the rooms all offer six foot beds swathed in the finest Egyption cotton sheets, extra large pillows and feather-filled duvets; the extensive list of luxury goodies ranges from Loewe HD plasma screens and Bose sound systems, to walk-in showers, Missoni bathrobes and Jo Malone bathroom products (which you’re welcome to take home).

Over New Year's Eve, two night package prices start from £645 and include a special New Year party, breakfast and VAT.

The Swan Hotel & Spa have a two-night New Year’s Eve deal available on 30th December – 1st January, with bed and breakfast plus dinner on the big night starting from £610 per room. Beautifully set in the Lake District, at the southernmost tip of Lake Windermere, the hotel is surrounded by beautiful walks to blow out the festive cobwebs, while there are seats by an open fire to return to and even an Espa spa to soothe sore heads on New Year’s Day.

Set at the heart of one of the area’s prettiest villages, Lower Slaughter Manor is a grand traditional country house hotel in the Cotswolds. This New Year they’ve got a two-night deal on for an indulgent end to 2014 starting from £1350 (based on two people sharing a classic room with breakfast each morning).

The deal includes afternoon tea on arrival in front of the fire on 31st December followed by a six-course dinner in the Sixteen58 restaurant that evening. The next day, Ease yourself into the New Year with a Bloody Mary or Bucks Fizz, before heading to the Dining Room to tuck into a fabulous brunch prepared by Jamie Rafferty and his brigade, accompanied by our excellent local jazz band.

Just across the road from Lower Slaughter Manor, sister hotel The Slaughters Inn also have a deal on a New Year's Eve break. The setting is just as lovely (on the banks of the River Windrush and surrounded by mature trees and honey-coloured Cotswolds buildings), but the feel of the place is more relaxed and informal and the rates come in at a slightly less pricey £465 for two nights including dinner, bed and breakfast.

The Bath Priory is not the sort of place that takes a big date like the seeing in of 2014 lightly, and this year they’re pulling out all the stops with a three-night New Year’s Eve deal with dinner/B&B from £995 per person (in a classic double room). On Sunday 30th December, your stay starts with a traditional afternoon tea served in the Drawing Room. That evening, there’ll be a Champagne and canapé reception followed by a four-course dinner, with a menu designed by the Michelin-starred chef, Sam Moody.

The next day, New Year’s Eve, there’ll be another Champagne and canapé reception, followed by a black-tie gala dinner with a five-course menu (with wine pairings) followed by dinner and dancing and, on the stroke of midnight, Champagne and fireworks. On the 1st January (after a suitably slow start to the day) there’ll be a Bucks Fizz brunch and an inspiring cocktail master-class.

If there's one night of the year when some lavish spending can be justified, it's surely New Year's Eve. Statuesque luxury Edinburgh hotel The Balmoral has long been host to the most sophisticated Hogmanay celebration in the Scottish capital, and a special deal this year means a minimum two night stay (inclusive of a full Scottish breakfast, use of the Balmoral Spa and two tickets to the feted Balmoral Hogmanay Ball) will come in at £625 per person.

Invitation to the world famous black tie Ball will ensure guests ring in the new year with suitable flair, starting with a champagne and canapé reception followed by a stunning four-course menu created by award winning Executive Chef Jeff Bland. The skirl of pipes signals the arrival of the world's top Highland Dancers, who will perform the famous Sword Dance and Highland Fling, followed by dancing to one of the best ceilidh bands in the country. As midnight strikes with a glass of champagne in hand guests can watch a breathtaking fireworks display from the best vantage point in Edinburgh, before retiring to a truly sumptuous bedroom. Hardier guests will want to head into town on the 1st, where celebrations start all over again - brave souls can even take part in the annual 'Loony Dook', which sees thrillseekers jump into the freezing River Forth.

The grand surroundings of The Shelbourne are certainly not a bad place to start the new year, especially when a New Year's Eve stay includes a traditional Irish breakfast and three course dinner for two people, coming in at just £392. Sat on St Stephen’s Green, a regal square and hub of Dublin life, the hotel is in the perfect location to finish dinner, then head out into the night to celebrate with the locals. If you'd prefer to mark the occasion in quieter style, No. 27 Bar & Lounge has a great cocktail list, sure to draw the city's elite for a post work glass of bubbly.

The Hotel Du Vin group can always be relied on for a fuss free stay in unique surroundings, and the polished Newcastle branch is the perfect environment for a relaxed New Year's Eve break. From £409 per room, guests can expect a slick black tie evening with canapés and a Champagne reception, followed by a dinner of four courses and live music. Sumptuous rooms guarantee a restorative night's sleep, before a full traditional breakfast and plenty of good coffee help alleviate a sore head. Stays can be extended to include the 30th December, from £89 per room including overnight accommodation and breakfast.

One of our true favourites, The White Swan in Pickering, North Yorkshire is doing New Year slightly differently this year. A very relaxed affair, with fantastic food, Champagne cocktails and the usual great wine list, guests are invited to spend their evening as they wish, whether that's propping up the bar, watching a few fireworks or snuggling up in their comfy room. A night’s stay (arriving on 31st December) start at £179 per person.

Famed for its grand New Year celebrations and insatiable holiday spirit, Leeds doesn't skimp when it comes to end of year fun. For £139, guests can enjoy a bottle of fizz in their room at 42 The Calls, before heading off to join the throng, safe in the knowledge that a hearty cooked breakfast and much needed late checkout is guaranteed when they wake up feeling a little hazy.

At slightly less than an hour’s train journey from Paddington, The Olde Bell in Hurley is easily accessible, but far enough into the countryside to feel you’ve truly escaped the city for New Year’s Eve. For £149 per person, based on two people sharing (inclusive of bed and a huge brunch to soak up the hangover) you can expect roaring fires, an extensive range of beers and wines to choose from and a lovely room to curl up in once celebrations in the busy gastro pub have died down.
